Rex Ryan and the are currently projected to break an NFL record in committed penalties this season. At the Mark Glowinski Jersey  moment, they have 58 through four games.Ryan's solution? Push-ups!"If a guy gets a penalty during the practices, then we're gonna make sure that all of us are gonna do 10 push-ups or whatever," Ryan said Wednesday, . "The rest of the team will (do push-ups) and that person (being Nathan Rourke Jersey  penalized) will stand up, just to see how many people he is affecting."Penalties are still gonna happen, but we gotta eliminate them to the best of our abilities, especially the self-inflicted ones."This is not the first time Ryan implemented this solution during his coaching career. At least twice, during especially penalized stretches of the season with the , Ryan had his team, staff and even owner hitting the turf to  Julian Love Jersey bang out push-ups.While those teams were not overly-penalized -- two top-10 finishes in total penalties between 2009 and 2014 -- they weren't squeaky clean, either. This is not the first time Ryan has had to addre s his team's penchant for yellow  Ty Summers Jersey flags, and it's not the first time he's cited his old Baltimore Raven teams as an example of why it doesn't nece sarily matter.This was always going to be a side effect of "building a bully." Ryan's team has almost doubled the amount of unnece sary roughne s calls as the next-closest team, the , . But that doesn't mean it's not having an impact  Mario Goodrich Jersey on the win-lo s column.And to solve this problem, players, some of the most finely-tuned athletic machines in the country, will have to do push-ups, a rudimentary exercise that nearly every average Joe can complete with some degree of efficiency.
